Oh, patents! Nina Ricci (3)

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The bottle for Love in Paris Nina Ricci perfume was awarded the US Design patent USD526212S1 titled Flask for perfume.

The patent figure No. 1 is included below, together with an image of the marketed Love in Paris Eau de parfum bottle.


As a reminder: “a utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a “design patent” protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171) [MPEP Chapt. 1502.01; [R-07.2015]].
